fishkorp Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Vista 5270 is an old beta version of the next version of Windows (current versions are over 53xx). Unless you have an MSDN, MS Connect, or MS beta tester account you can't download it legally. as for installation, just boot from the DVD and it installs on PCs.

Colonel Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 you have to pay a low, low price of something like $500 to get an MSDN membership, but there's always the the bay of pirates if you don't like spending big bucks.

datura_au Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 not good advice but... you could always just download it via edonkey / torrent / or limewire [any p2p software may find it]. But I do warn you, I just installed Vista Beta 2 [build 5308] and although it looks nice and has some ok features really... MS has taken all the things in XP that are easy to use and find [mostly properties/system/administration tasks] and made them hard to find and even harder to change [what used to take 2 steps now takes 5-6]. I use macs at work and pc's at home so for the first time in years OSX has the upper hand [which is something I NEVER thought I would be saying], all I hope for now is that osx gets a full pc-based release and that most software vendors release universal versions of their software [just like apple did with Final Cut Pro 5.1 - it now runs on both apple and pc based systems]. Save yourself the trouble. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13728-windows-vista-5270/#findComment-87421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veeoh Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 how can I get the account you mentioned, or where can I download the newest version? (if you can't tell me the site here please PM me? To get an MSDN account you need to give Microsoft money, something I assume you will not be willing to do. =V= Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13728-windows-vista-5270/#findComment-87444 Share on other sites More sharing options...
